The way I see it that instinct is the cause behind so much suffering and injustice in the world.

    No. That is human nature. In order to overcome that, we would have to evolve into a different species, which I would argue is less appealing than it might sound on the surface.

    Instead of trying to overcome it, it makes more sense to build a society that directs that energy in a positive direction.

      Maybe a solution could be getting rid of some tribes entirely, so that we’re not so divided? We can still have tribes, but we really don’t need this many of them

        Are you from the future? It says this will be posted in 2 hours. Am I from the future??

        Seriously though I think your admin can fix that, I’ve seen similar things before and it may be a configuration issue.

        I’ll just assume you’re not talking about the people themselves, but rather the institutions that funnel people into modern day tribes. And in that case, I would agree with you, currently people are getting funneled into extremely niche groups that are inherently going to come into conflict. It might be necessary to reduce the granularity of human communities in order to arrive at a more cohesive whole. And doing that would not necessarily involve violence, but rather shutting down many of the commercial influences that create certain mindsets and desires in people that they wouldn’t otherwise have.
